我每找到工作都無法維持上一年，因為總就是覺得有點什麼不對勁的。所以我就得轉到別個形態的工程領域去，然後再轉到另一個去。

I just kept changing and changing, never understanding why until 1952. Then I realized what I was looking for was not in a job or business. No job, no business, even when I was into it and successful, could give it to me.

我就是這樣變了又變、變了又變，從來也不明白到底是為什麼的，直到1952年。然後我明白了我所尋求的名堂並不在工作或生意裏，並沒有任何工作或任何生意，即使我曾身入其中並獲得成功，是不能給予我這個名堂的。

During my whole life, I was unconsciously seeking what I discovered in 1952.

在我整個生命中，我都是無意識的在尋求我1952年所發現到的這個名堂。

關於我 MYSELF

I was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, July 19,1909.

我在1909年07月19日出生於紐澤西州(New Jersey)的伊利莎白市(Elizabeth)。

My earliest recollection was of water. I always loved water.

我最早的記憶印象是水，我一向喜歡水。

When I was four, I used to walk two long blocks and two short blocks to a large docking and recreation wharf in Elizabeth port.

在我四歲的時候，我經常徒步走過兩個大街區和兩個小街區，到伊利莎白港一個大型的停泊兼遊樂的碼頭去。

I'd climb up on a wall at the edge of the dock-it was about two feet high and about three feet wide-and I'd just lie down on it with my head over the edge watching the water flow by for hours at a time, for so many hours that my mother went looking for me. When she found me, she almost collapsed seeing me, a tot, hanging over the edge of the dock, and gently took me by the hand and with a smile said, "Come on home." She never scolded me. She just told me I shouldn't do that because I might fall in.
